Sesamoiditis?: See a podiatrist. X-rays will determine if there is a sesamoid bone fracture or abnormality in these two bones under the great toe joint.

Meds and rest: Pain on the bottom of the great toe joint may be an inflamed two piece sesamoid bone or a fracture of the pea size bone. If rest, immobilization, and regular nsaids do not improve the condition within 2-4 weeks then you must seek a dr.

Why does my big toe feel like it is stuck when I'm walking? I'm sure it's not gout because I don't eat that kind of food. Not painful if not walking but feels like it catches when walking and pressure is put of the front of the food, right foot only?
